The single most powerful skill to advance your career:
Storytelling.
If you can tell compelling stories, you can:
• Get a raise
• Earn a promotion
• Even shape the world
And no one tells better stories than Pixar.
## They've made over $14 billion at the box office.
And their most recent film (Hoppers) is the 2nd highest-grossing original film this decade.
This movie exploded right out of the gate with this little guy becoming an instant meme everywhere.

Back in 2011, Pixar storyboard artist Emma Coats shared their "22 Rules For Storytelling.”

## Rule #2: You gotta keep in mind what's interesting to you as an audience, not what's fun to do as a writer.
